Hi everyone

Sorry I have been absent for a while. RL has thrown me some really s****y curveballs, and there has been a lot to deal with. Needless to say I have been busy dealing with those, as well as trying to earn money, be a good mummy and wife and keep on track with the house!

So, where are we. Mortgage as at today's date stands at £123,537.38. As you know, we can't make any more OPs this year so are saving. Savings total is £3,750. So on paper we are in the teens :j

I missed our June target by £250, but *should* be able to make July's target.

Still being frugal, still chucking all we can into the savings pot, cannot wait to be MF now - DH work is so exhausting, it gives me great motivation to keep going.

I promise to try and post more regularly xx

Woohoo you're back!!! Sorry to hear it's been a bit pants lately and hope it's all on the up from now on! Congratulations on the mortgage figure and I'm sure you'll be MF by your target, if not before! Take care xxx

Thanks Jessy xx

Really quick one from me this morning. We will be at £4k savings by the end of the week :T and I have put a spag bol in the slow cooker for tonight's dinner. Will dig some garlic bread out of the freezer to defrost in a sec.

Have great days all x

Hope things improve for you now ATB, it's good to have you back

4k in savings is great

Good to see you back. Congrats on reaching the teens! You'll be at 5 digits in no time.

We are at £4k in savings :j

My target was £6.5k by end of July, we may achieve this but it is more likely to be £6k. DH is upgrading his phone so iphone 7 plus, so I need to see what the standard iPhone 7 is going for on ebay, will research tonight.

Aiming for a low spend weekend, we have loads of food in so nothing to spend there.
